Da Beatminerz "Soul Power: Prince"
In this week's Mixtape Monday, we're taking you to Canada for Kardinal Offishall's latest mixtape. Allow Me To Re-Introduce Myself finds the Toronto MC lacing 15 hot beats from super-producer Nottz Raw. From Toronto we head to New York City for Max Tannone's latest genre bending mix, Mic Check 1234, a blend of hip-hop and punk classics. Lastly (but not least-ly) we head to Minneapolis by way of Bushwick, BK for Mr. Walt of Da Beatminerz's Soul Power:Prince, a tribute to the Minneapolis-bred genius.
